May be from a Coin Show Presentation? Looks quite old?
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.I think it's a gen. 4.0
But its no where near a match other than the only major similarity is its in a blue label imo
I am befuddled
Also, the barcode in on the back. After the gen. 4.0 it was moved to the front.
I shal consult my slab book by Conder.
USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.
According to my Conder101 Slab Book, it's a PCGS6
USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.
PCGS 6 has the barcode on the front.
What about it isn’t a match to a 4.0?

Here you go.

From the book PCGS6:
Front:
Back:
USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.
According to the link I posted above from the PCGS website, the Gen 6.0 has the barcode on the front. The only blue label holder according to them with the barcode on the back is the Gen 4.0
It does not match the 4.0 other than the barcode on the back. But the fonts and size of the fonts are completely different, the color is different but that could be due to age. In addition the color of the PCGS lettering is different too. Who knows but thank you anyway for your time and effort
I just thought it was interesting
It looks like the same holder.
Is it possible that the PCGS "museum" and "Condor" use a different numbering system?
Specifically, the "museum" labels it GEN4.0, while "Condor" denotes it as PCGS6
They also added the series and coin number on the Gen 4.0 with the exception of patterns, colonials and bullion. The font may be different because of the amount of writing they had to fit on the label.
The date and denomination are smaller because it is a Mint Error, that’s all. Here is another example:

The cert number also falls in the 4.0 range.
Notice my example doesn't have SERIES on the label, so it is very different imo
Thanks
The PCGS GEN4.0 label included series and coin numbers for regular US issues, not patterns.

The coin in your OP, PCGS #11720, is a pattern.

I would never have known that, thanks
Good stuff...and I learned something coin related today so that finishes the day for me on a good note!

It looks like Gen 4.0 here:

How to authenticate the holder? Markers to identify? Inquiring minds want to know. Peace Roy

This thread makes me wonder what generations of slabs I have.... No idea and frankly, not interested in finding out... I will just stick to coins....
Cheers, RickO
You need to remember that PCGS generations developed here on the forum (based on labels) is different than PCGS generations as defined by PCGS (which was more about the plastic).
I've cut and pasted below info from my PCGS generations thread - hope it helps.
PCGS 6.0 Conder101 writes: "In Nov of 98 PCGS dropped the green label in favor of the current light blue. This first light blue variety usually stikes people as being odd but they have problems putting their finger on exactly why. On this variety the date is found in the upper left hand corner and the denomination/type is in the upper right corner. In the center of the second line is PCGS and the grade. The serial number is at the center of the bottom label, and the barcode has been banished to the back label. This variety was only used for circulation type coins (including proofs). This variety was only used in Nov and Dec of 1998."
In Mike Sherman's update, he clarifies the scarcity of this style. It was actually produced from 1998-2002 and used for those coins that didn't have a well established coin numbering system (moderns, errors, colonials, etc). So, for example, you will see hundreds of these with colonials in them but you won't find a 1938-D Buffalo nickel since the Buff had a well developed numbering system by this generation! Bottom line is it's a Conder101 Gen. 7 label w/o a coin series/number.
Also, note the change in the hologram on the reverse, now featuring the PNG logo. The sides of the hologram will become outwardly convex in later generations. Note also the variations in the length of the serial numbers from earlier generations (7 vs 8).
Info on the security features in the current generation of holders can be found here.
IMHO, the highlights are:
~ the NFC chip (standard since OCT-2020);
~ a plastic additive that is detectable with a "reader" that PCGS has supplied to select authorized dealers.
It seems like (at least some) PCGS generations are also defined by labels.

@Lakesammman
Thanks for the informative post.
Would it be possible for you to post a link to your thread?
Sure - it is different than the PCGS system but I find it personally helpful and is how I organize my plastic.

To be historically accurate, those should all have the same coin with the grade increasing each era.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Thanks to everyone here who helped answer my question. All I care about is its from Nov 1998 and that is a long time ago in my book!
